Got 3 wooden veggie/fruit baskets at an auction for $2 the other day....one more step towards subscription baskets! :bee

I will soon have raw milk, butter and cheeses to offer in those baskets. :)

Looks like dairy :)!

I'd go with a few bunches of herbs, bouquets, cartons of eggs and go for a milk route.

Gosh, that almost sounds like what I could have done with my life :rolleyes:.

We've gone 360 if you can make that work, Beekissed . . .

Good for you on the baskets :) I go to Goodwill and St. Vinny's around here to get cheap but beautiful baskets and wooden bowls. I need to have a LOT of them, since my customers don't return their containers until the following week, when I deliver their next basket.

So, better go. Today is the first basket: Asparagus, spinach, chives, sunchokes, bean sprouts and freezer jam from last year's raspberries.

Good luck!

Wouldn't it be neat to be able to develop a route like that....and not have the state intervene and take everything you've worked for? Sad times, these days....... :(

I can deliver the veggies and fruits for now, but the dairy----illegal to sell raw milk in WV or VA. Some interesting ideas to get around this from gals on the SS and they are something I will definitely try! I have several people who have expressed an interest in getting the dairy products.....I never dreamed how much people really missed real milk, butter and cheese. :)
